I usually keep a couple cups of cooked rice in the fridge to use throughout the week. Tonight I just wanted a quick tasty snack. When you keep rice around precooked, meal prep becomes hassle free. This goes along the same lines as keeping boiled eggs and baked potatoes in the fridge to fulfill those ‘fast/junk food’ cravings. There are many creative ways you can dress up rice. This is one of them.

• 1/4 cup cooked rice
• 1 splash soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons crushed pineapple
• smidgen of cock sauce

This snack took a total of two minutes prep time. This included twenty seconds in the microwave for the rice while retrieving the other ingredients from the fridge. Top the rice with your soy sauce then your pineapple and dress with thin strands of Sriracha sauce, be careful this stuff is hot. You can double this recipe twice to feed four people a quick snack.

If you want to get really fancy you can take the scrapings and debris from left over chicken and mix it in with the rice. Put that extra chicken fat and skin to use, don’t throw it away. You can accomplish this quickly with some boiling water by using just barely enough water to cover your chicken thigh or chicken leg (you’ll be amazed at how much meat comes off once you get into the practice of doing this with all your meat) and simmer for five minutes or so. Drain the broth through a mesh type cloth to save for later and use the leftover meat for your serving of rice.
